“BB Cream for Darker Skin - I Found It!”

Thursday, January 20th, 2011
My tube of Missha BB Cream No. 31

Update: Even though I linked to it at the bottom, judging by the amount of emails I have received, I guess it's easy to miss so here's a link to the eBay seller I bought from: Missha BB Cream No. 31 on eBay. ####### BB Creams have been all the rage for a couple years now among ...

“Circle Lens Reviews & Photos: G&G BT01 Black, Candy Doll Gray and More”

G&G BT01 Black circle lenses on my natural dark eyes.

I recently decided to try out circle lenses.  If you don't know, they're contact lenses that are larger than average and designed to make the eyes appear brighter and "cuter" - just think of cartoon characters with their big, doll eyes.  Circle lenses are very popular in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea.  Here's some photos ...

“Hideous Without Makeup?”

Thursday, October 21st, 2010
Without and with makeup on

A couple weeks ago, a friend shared a link on Facebook to an article titled "Chinese Girls With & Without Their Makeup." The intro for this photoset stated "Not much to explain…without makeup, they’re either aunties or monsters, even possibly men." Monsters? C'mon, that's a bit of a stretch, but I will concede that makeup can ... See Full Entry »

 

“Asian Beauty Blog”

Thursday, September 16th, 2010
After following a YouTube eye makeup tutorial

I noticed today that I'm ranked #6 on Google for the search phrase "asian beauty blog" (without quotes). C'mon Google, I'm not an Asian beauty blog! I have maybe 2 or 3 posts about makeup but most of my entries are about food or the random things I buy. I actually visit a few true ... See Full Entry »

Adore Bi-Tone Yellow on Dark Eyes

I recently got a pair of the Italian-made Adore Bi-Tone colored contact lenses. Before purchasing, I looked through a lot of YouTube videos and other blogs and noticed that all the reviews were on lighter eyes. Even those who said they had "dark eyes" have what I would consider medium brown eyes. ... See Full Entry »

Solotica Hidrocor Ocre Contacts on Black Asian Eyes

A while ago I posted photos of my Solotica Hidrocor Ocre contacts on my black eyes. I had written that I didn't really like the color, especially when compared to my Hidrocharme Mels. Also, I missed having the limbal ring which covered up any iris overlap. A couple days ago, I decided to give them another ... See Full Entry »

 

“Eyelid Tape”

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Eyelid tape before and after.

I was browsing the Health & Beauty section of Deal Extreme when I came across some eyelid tape. I clicked on it out of curiosity; I was surprised to see something as obscure as eyelid tape on a site known for its discounted electronics. I read the comments and was amused by the confusion many had ... See Full Entry »

 

“So I have a lot of eye shadows…”

A girl can never have enough eye shadows.

But it's not more than most girls have, is it? See Full Entry »

 

“Monolid Asian Eyes and Eye Makeup”

Saturday, March 28th, 2009
With no crease to follow, what does one do?

I'm a lazy girl. Unless I'm going out to a bar, club or nice restaurant, I very rarely wear makeup.  Some lotion and chapstick is enough for me (though I should be wearing sunscreen).  However, I love the look of well-applied makeup, especially eye makeup.  I have a slight obsession with eye shadows and find ...
